tracking new Dapper and Debian sid versions of certain packages

[Shot (Piotr Szotkowski)]

Hello.

Is there some easy way/tool allowing me to track new
versions of certain packages in Dapper and Debian sid?

I sometime (back)port some packages to Breezy; current examples are:

mc 1:4.6.1-1ubuntu2   - taken directly from Dapper
xmoto 0.1.7-1~0shot1  - rebuilt from Dapper
dosage 1.5.5-1~0shot1 - rebuilt from Debian sid with lessened build-deps

What I'm looking for is a way to get notified when one of these packages
changes in Dapper, changes in sid or reaches Dapper for the first time.

Cheers,
-- Shot

For Debian, you can subscribe using the Package Tracking System, see for
instance :
http://packages.qa.debian.org/z/zope2.7.html

Using the form on the middle-left hand, you could be notified when a new
revision is uploaded, when a report is filed or changed, etc. (see the
advanced mode).

I'll let our fellow administrators answer if there's such a tool for
Ubuntu, or when it will be available! ;-)

Well, there is the dapper-changes mailing list (and I think theres
another one for autosyncs from debian)

It'd be *all* packages and somewhat high-traffic, but you could filter
it.

Hello.

Thanks, Hervé and Trent, for your prompt replies!

This seems to be a very nice tool. It would be great
if something like this was available in Ubuntu. :o)

I also subscribed to the Dapper Changes
RSS feed[1], will see how intensive it is.

You could always subscribe to the changes lists, and run a filter that
sends all messages to /dev/null unless it contains the names of those
specific packages in the subject.  This can be done server side with
procmail or locally on your email client (you'd notice a lot less of the
overhead doing it server side).
